Firesione Reduces Tire Prices

Sweeping across-the-board price reductions on its tires and tubes was announced today by the Firestone Tire and Rubber Com- pany of Canada Limited. Prices on passenger tires, small sized truck tires, tubes and farm tires have been cut 12 1l2 percent, while large sized truck tires have been cut 15 percent.

According to R. I. Raycroft, Firestone general sales manager, the tax reduction announced ear- lier this week accounts for only part of the price cut. Dropping prices of crude rubber are also credited for lower costs. AI Mr. Raycroft points out the tax re- duction actually amounts to only six percent on the suggested price list since excise taxes are computed on the net dealer price. "Flrestone's price cuts are far in exccssbf the tax saving". he states. "Car owners can now buy our popular Champion 8.00116 tire as low as 319.95 while the Champ- ion super-balloon 6.70Il5 now sells for 324.95. And We possible for car owners to obtain these tires at even better prices since our dealers will pay a generous trade- in allowance for the old tires," he points out.-Advt.

"rho command has been formed. its procedures established. and basic questions settled."

Eisenhower also made it clear that he is coming home to take an active role in the political cam- paign which his supporters have been compelled to wage by proxy in recent weeks while he remained silent.

The General said that "in view of the press of other developments" it was his hope to return to inactive military status -- where he would be free to doff his uniform Ind speak out in the political loustinga.

Frolnllol Fight

Meanwhile. Eisenhower promised in a letter made public today in Morristown. N. J.. that if he is nominated he will conduct a fight- ing campaign to unseat the Dem- not-Ilio administration.

"If by any chance it should come about that the Republican Party does name me as its standard bear- er. I am determined to lead the en- tire organization into I fight in which there will be no cessation. no rest. and no iIck of intemity until the final decision is made." he Islet.

Although technically on the in- active list. Eisenhower will mil be I five-star general of the army Ind subject to recall to military duty in case of national need.
